What an amazing show!! Centre Stage Gisborne’s production of Jersey Boys is a MUST-SEE!
The amount of talent on display is incredible. One could hardly believe that this was Danielle Siata’s first show as a director — the professionalism on stage combined with the technical aspects involved make this show worthy of professional status.
I also have to commend the amazing talents of Tahi Paenga, known for his earlier role this year as Jesus in the same company’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Paenga’s progression from Francis Castellucio to Frankie Valli was seamless; he seemed to grow with the character throughout the story — and his voice!! Few could play that role, and even fewer could SING it. Mr Paenga does it all, with professionalism and ease.
Everyone involved in the show — cast, crew, techies, front of house staff — all the best for the rest of your season. You deserve more than the applause and accolades
